A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

PllEFACE. The design of most of the recent historians of Eome appears to have been to obliterate as much as they could of its ancient history. Negemus omnia; comburamus annales, ficta hflec esse dicamus such seems to have been the maxim of almost every critic and historian who has handled this subject since the days of Niebuhr. The Germans have of course taken the lead in this crusade, as in everything else connected with classical literature, and, in England at least, they have been almost implicitly followed; where the scholars who have ventured to assert any independence of thought are few indeed. Yet, after all, there is little originality in the Grerman scepticism. All the chief objecu. tions to the early Roman history were urged by De Beaufort, a century before Niebuhr. The Germans following in his track have, with characteristic industry and perseverance, 1picked the bones of the quany cleaner. And they have done worse than this.
